Facebook Pages : Create Multi Image Post from a public Google Drive folder

[laportejo]

Hi,

I have a workflow to create a multi image post for Facebook.


And I try to post images from a public Google Drive folder.

But I have this error :

Do you know what the problem is ?

Thanks!

Hi @laportejo,

Facebook doesn't allow images to be uploaded through Google Drive URLs. You have to provide a direct link to the image, such as this one: https://fastly.picsum.photos/id/772/200/200.jpg?hmac=9euSj4JHTPr7uT5QWVmeNJ8JaqAXY8XmJnYfr_DfBJc

Only then will the images be uploaded to Facebook.

Hi @ArshilAhmad ,

Thanks for your answer.

But Facebook does allow image for the action event "Create Page Photo Post". I have a script that work very well with a public Google Drive URL.

Should I understand that Google URLs don't work for the specific event "Create Multi Image Post" ?

Yes, it's specific to the 'Create Multi Image Post' action event. You can try uploading the file to Imgur to convert the Google Drive link into a link that contains the file extension. Then, you can use the link you received through Imgur in 'Create Multi Image Post' step.
